“Bannockburn by way of Brighton Beach” is dead funny, and euphonious. And dark, considering Bannockburn’s place in history, which sets up the last verse pretty well. The rest of it I’ll have to google. Philip Santa Rosa, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goog

In 2000, me wifie and cousin and I did a hired bike tour of the best whisky in the world. Three miles, three distilleries. Grin. The winding costal road got straighter with each stop. Grin. Then we discovered that our bnb was the other side of the island instead of just three miles on. Whooof.

Hi all, The story has a happy ending thanks for a local auto detailer. I took it to him yesterday and said "can you fix this?" He thumbed it and said "I think so, but my nail is catching one of the scratches so it may not come out completely." I said that's fine, even if it's just greatly di
